and Canada began in October 2015 as a 2016 model year. Deliveries to retail customers in the U.S. The second-generation Volt's improved battery system and drivetrain increased the all-electric range to 53 miles (85 km), its EPA-rated fuel economy in charge-sustaining mode to 42 mpg ‑US (5.6 L/100 km 50 mpg ‑imp), and the combined city/highway fuel economy in all-electric mode to 106 MPG-e, up from 98 MPG-e. Under the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) cycle, the 2013–15 model year Volt all-electric range is 38 mi (61 km), with a combined electric mode/gasoline-only rating of 62 mpg ‑US (3.8 L/100 km 74 mpg ‑imp) equivalent (MPG-equivalent).
